MB202HWR : Distant drums

I am not a drummer or a Bongo player for that matter but I bought these to give it a try. The good. They look very nice, they are strongly made and they are relatively inexpensive. The bad. They are very heavy. Knowing nothing about Bongos I watched a tuition video and the first thing it showed was how to tune your Bongo drums. I followed the chaps advice and straight away the smaller drum?s skin split! Fortunately the Millenium replacement skins are quite cheap and it was simple to replace the broken one. It remains to be seen how long the new skins last. It might be nice to include a leaflet giving instructions on how to go about tuning the drums! I cannot give these drums a high rating just because of the weight of them, otherwise they are probably good.
